I Need To Trace A Credit Card Thief!
I got a call the other day that we charged this person's credit card by our online store and they never shopped there. I have traced the thief's website via Who's Who and also have his Yahoo Account info...... I want to get more information about where he is from and what computer IP address he was using .......
Any suggestion..... I am new to all of this.
Thanks

Wait... you charged someone's credit card, and they never even shopped in your store? Doesn't that make you the thief?
And how would you "trace" the thief's "website"? Did he leave a business card?

I think he may mean that the legitimate owner of the credit card never shopped there?
Anyway, credit card fraud is a serious matter and not one you should be investigating by yourself. Take the matter to the police, they're far better equipped to deal with the situation.

So, a customer phoned you saying that your shop had charged his credit card?
And you traced the theifs web site!
So who was the theif that you traced? as it was your shops name on the credit card statement so as neg said, that would make your shop the theif!

Tiger Shark is correct. You need to contact the authorities and give them the information you have.

I presume the only reason why the authorities havent been called is the negative publicity that'll come out of this whole affair.Not that it was dcate's fault..if you enter a credit card number on an online store,I mean,there's not much dcat could've done is there?Why should they be held responsible for something legitimately purchased(in their view).It is an online store after all.The general n00b does,after all,view online purchasing with concern.Again,no clue on how they traced the user's WEBSITE?And TigerShark,if the guy had any sense he wouldnt use the credit card more than once..I remember a friend of mine who had a cell phone stolen and the thief went on a phoning spree,he eventually panicked and left the phone somewhere

Why should they be held responsible for something legitimately purchased(in their view).
I don't know how it works in other countries, but over here in the UK the merchant usually coughs up for any fraudulent transactions carried out via their account (I know this because one of the companies I worked for nearly got hit with a £4,000 bill but fortunately they were suspicious and didn't authorise the transaction). It's intended to act as an incentive for companies to check carefully before processing a transaction if they think it may not be genuine.

what does another website have to do with all this? was something shipped IRT or is this some "service" your selling?
if someone that is into carding has done this the yahoo account is more than likely either stolen of fake and i would think any shopping done with the card would probably be done threw a string of proxies (if your store allows this) or a computer other that his/her own.
it is possible that the person making the claim is lying and not that computer literate
more information would be helpful

if you got his website from the IP in the connection logs, it is likely he used a proxy on that server and has no link to it whatsoever, as for the yahoo account, I can only assume cookies were responsible, so that might be legit, however someone who is into illegal **** would likely be less than forthcoming with personal info on free services like yahoo. still it is worth a shot, even tho the response from yahoo will likely be "yawho?" hehe, thats just a little joke I tell every time.
